How do “computational algorithms” differ from other kinds of algorithms employed in headphones?
- iambateman 4y agoOne term was written by someone paid $120,000 to write software, the other by someone paid $120,000 to write marketing copy. ;)
- mimsee 4y agoTell me that the headphones have AI without telling me the headphones have AI. That's probably what they were thinking when they wrote that.
- willis936 4y agoWhat's worse is that their boss is bad at their job. I sold phones in retail for one year and in that time I learned feature, function, benefit. I think some of these VPs should go back to school.
- msoad 4y agoI noticed they said "the Watch scans for crash events 3,000 times a second" and then "The always-on display refreshes at 1 hertz"... So it's "x times per second" if it's good and "y hertz" if it's bad lol
- mimsee 4y agoI don't think 1 hertz is bad. It's good so it doesn't use much battery refreshing an always-on lock screen that changes relatively infrequently.
- dymk 4y agoOr the copy editor didn't want to sound too repetitive
- stnmtn 4y agoI disagree, I don't usually hear hertz as a unit outside of display refresh rates. If they had said "The watch scans for crash events at 3000 hertz" it would sound strange and incorrect to me year. And an always-on display being able to refresh at 1 hertz is a selling point and a good thing, no?
- Humbly8967 4y agoNot to say that this would be a good idea, or that anyone does headphones this way, but you could implement PID control with analog circuits. Capacitors, resistors, and Op-amps.
- mcculley 4y agoThat had occurred to me in that we have analog computers and devices. But aren’t all algorithms “computational”?
